In my experience, you only ever see the problem inside a carb about half the time. The other half you look for trouble like you did, and not finding anything, you put it back together and it runs great. Great days to you and family !

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

Thanks. Same to you 👍

[@paulwylie989]

Looking good. I apreciate your sense of humor

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

I appreciate that ,thanks for watching.

[@aarmega007]

Thanks for the video. I was having same exact problem with mine until 5 minutes ago. Fix was actually to tighten up the 2 nuts which attach the hose conecting the carb to the air filter. I have 2 of these units doing same high and low idle and they both got fixed by this method.

Getting ready for an upcoming storm, I fired mine up and had the same issue. I was going to order a new carb, but watching your videos, I realized I also did not clean the spark arrestor. I'll clean it this evening and hopefully that's all.

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

Hope that’s all it is for you 👍 good luck with the storm

[@jettpakmann]

@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid I got too excited and did it on my lunch break. Sure enough, the cone screen looked mostly clean, but had some carbon build up. Sprayed it with carb cleaner and it purrs like a kitten. Sorry for you spending the extra money, but you sure saved me some. Definitely subscribing

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

Thanks for sharing that and I’m really glad I could help!

[@jamofjar6053]

Thank you, generator is working thanks to the video…..

[@justabill5780]

My Westinghouse WH2200iXLT has the same carburetor. It was always a PITA to start and eventually stopped running unless it was on full choke. Took the carb apart and cleaned it and still wouldn't run without full choke. So I replaced it with a cheap afermarket carb from Amazon and it started on the first pull of the cord. It NEVER started on the first pull before.
I think the original carb was defective from the start. I just can't figure out what is wrong with it.

[@TheJcrandazzo]

The problem was in that pilot jet. When you ran the needle through it more than likely cleaned it out.

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

Thank you 👍 I’m just happy it’s working again!

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Good day Sir, you carburetor look very clean for sure 🧐👌😊 Cheers !!!

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

Enjoyed it my friend,thumbs up ,,👍

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

Thank you👍

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

Those little carbs are really easy to work on and usually just need a little cleaning.

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

That’s exactly all it needed 👍

[@ghettovanadventures]

Yeah the carburetter looks in good shape and I would like to see if it works on the engine

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

I’m thinking it will but we will see when the time comes 👍

[@CyberDocUSA]

Never enjoyed messing with carnuretors, especialy with ethynol mixed in with our gasoline. Good luck with it.

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

Thanks 👍

[@Subsider1]

Where did you order the carb from? I'm looking for a spare

[@clintonr97]

The carb looks good, bet it was the spark arrester, it’s the number one offender for rough running inverters. Curious, we’re you running ethanol gas or ethanol free gas. If you ran ethanol I’m impressed the carb looks so good.

[@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid]

87 octane regular 10% ethanal gas. I agree it was probably the spark arrestor. Still running great. Thanks for watching .

[@thetopnacci]

What type fuel were you using? Did you use stablil or some trufuel? Was it non-ethanol gas?

[@anthonyderose6069]

Did you clean out the jet that is on top of the carburetor? That is what was causing the surging of my gp2200i.

[@marvinschwartz2803]

That is correct. That is the one that usually causes the surging.
